WATCH: A homeless Montrealer was stopped by police and ticketed for $1,034 for owning a “pitbull-type” dog. As Global's Felicia Parrillo reports, Misha was already registered with the city as a Dogo Argentino, a breed that is not banned.

“This case really highlights what a mess this bylaw is, in terms of deciding which dogs are actually targeted. It’s something that even we, at the SPCA, don’t even understand,” said SPCA lawyer Sophie Gallard.

Late this afternoon, SOS Itinerance’s Alexandre Paradis called Global News after receiving word from the police officer involved that the ticket will be withdrawn by the end of the week.
